Mixed Bag of Holding: March Sadness

get Welkered

“The knights with blunderbusses were cool” You guys literally complained about that so much in the actual episode… which I thought was confusing then too, because Naddpod also uses steam-punky vibes and blunderbuss guns

“The Warcraft movie was a financial success” hang on, I’m pretty sure that’s super untrue It made a lot of money, but when you consider the astronomical marketing budget, it vastly underperformed. Especially in western markets, I do believe they recouped most of that overseas No, the Warcraft movie was definitely a flop despite being the highest grossing video game film at the time. Although honestly, that sounds more like an issue of Hollywood accounting. In a reasonable world that much money should mark a success

"im not a contrarian, the things that other people like, i know to expect not to like them" ...... one might call that a contrarian

I forgot what a classic “Murph Freak Out ©️” we got out of this episode

“In the stink with Link” is absolutely diabolical

The thing I'd like to say, and that I hope the hosts (especially Murph) know, is what this show has inspired me to listen to so far, based on your reviews: Oh Mr Toad, D&D Film, Sonic Underground, Halloween is Grinch Night, and Donkey Kong Country

I watched all of dungeons and dragons cartoon. I genuinely like the show. It has a lot of legitimately great episodes

That guy Frank Welker was the voice of Chomp Chomp in the Pac Man show and I think that needs to be acknowledged.

Got bored at work and watched the Pacs-giving episode for context, I should not have done that on a work computer

Confession time: I’ve never actually seen what sebulba looks like and NADDPOD are the only people who ever mention him so I just picture Crazy Frog instead

Can someone please make a “one shining moment” for this

“What is so funny?!” “Oh I’m listening to these people I’ve never met argue about movies I’ve never seen.”

Plenty of Murph Malding in this one.

Not sure if it was this episode or the last one, but Friendly’s still slaps. There’s one around the corner from me that I take my kids to all the time. Same the same sticky carpets I remembered as a kid.

One could argue that Legend of Zelda is a bit more progressive than it seems. It's the first time we see Zelda as an actual protagonist rather than a damsel in distress, and Link's attempts to get kisses always result in failure; it's a lesson on how *not* to be a hero, just as much as it shows how to be one.

Oh yeah the orc birth 🤣

Phantom Menace does not deserve to be on the same level of this other crap. Sure Episode 1 has problems, but some really great things in it as well.

I wonder how many times has Murph said, “You guys can’t (do this)” on the pod 🤔🤣

Curiosity was too strong and I ended up watching Pac's Giving... and... Jeezusss, ya'll. ending by referring to the ghosts as "those who are less deserving" was pretty unambiguous nail in that white washed coffin, huh? However, though I too absolutely disavow Pac Man and his gleefully colonizing family ... that lady ghost was kinda sexy, no? There was a story behind those eyes and vague hips shape that don't lie

Not Caldwell reading voice actors to filth looool

Wife just lost her job. Her large company filed for bankruptcy. Terminated immediately. No warning. No severance. Life turned upside down. Just happened. I appreciate the laughs in this time. NADDPOD best Pod!

You guys need to watch the dungeons and dragons episode of Secret Level on prime video. It’s genuinely fantastic.

I can’t believe how much Murph has lost his anger for the DND movies especially the first one

I went and watched picnic in pacland. Truly terrible

Guys would you rather have 1 million dollars or 1 million dystopian doors

Jake with the most based take on TPM: "I'd watch Ewan McGregor eating soup for twenty minutes." I've never identified with him more.

I’m shocked the Star Wars Christmas special isn’t in this bracket

Murph completely flipping on D&D2, his biggest ever L?

I just watched Pacsgiving just to see what the whole thing was like. I had no expectations of what it would be like, but it still exceeded all expectations for how awful it is, and I completely disavow it forever more

This has real “I’m in therefore I’m out” energy

Because of this I did watch the Pac-Man Thanksgiving episode and they are right to disavow it

The pod racing scene in episode 1 is good and I don’t know why Murph hates it so much

This was a really good episode and so funny but Caldwell please never pronounce gonzaga that way

Sebulba is a dog and they taped his back legs to his front legs

This should become an annual tradition

"Now we will invite those who are LESS DESERVING for our Paksgiving fest." God damn, Pac-grandma is fucking WILD.

So before listening to the final I went and watched both programs. Here’s the thing. Picnic is Pacland was so bad it hurt to watch and truly felt like it lasted an hour. However; Legend of Zelda made me legitimately upset it was so bad and so off base of the source material. I haven’t listened to the final discussion yet but I gotta go with Zelda as the champion stinker

For those wanting to see why the Pacs-Giving has been disavowed. https://youtu.be/_JOX8I3Suok?si=KhSBTppI9WVYr2ip Starts about the 12minute mark.

Emily & Murphy! Congratulations on Dimension 20 being a webtoon!! Hope you guys have a good rest of your day!

Caldwell sounded so disappointed when Emily said she liked the Pac-Man hats. “You liked the hats 😟😔”

I think I need to look at the title and watch these before watching the episodes going forward. I want to be a part of the salt.

Go zags

Bluster and Mr Toad is the ship we all need

The dungeons and dragons cartoon was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon. I couldn't wait to watch it, even when it was in repeats. Also, the wizard was not named Merlin. He was always just called Dungeon Master or DM for short I believe. Uni was great

I actually really love some of these... Warcraft deserved a sequel

I love Caldwell's genuine trepidation telling Emily "Jar-Jar Binks... is not real"

As someone who has listened to Creepin' many times since that ep came out, I felt VERY seen when Caldwell started singing it

View Crew should do exactly 16 episodes every year between April 1st and February 28th/29th and then do March Sadness

I’ve never been more excited to be on the mixed bag tier. This is the ultimate culmination.

This would’ve been so much better if Murph didn’t seed the bracket lol. Could’ve had so many more mental breakdowns.

brave of murph to risk a heart attack by going back to these topics

When did they watch episode 1 I can't find it?

The tragedy of murph is to be so funny to wind up that it's hard to tell when your batshit cohosts are legit into some rancid garbage or having a good time taking the piss. Respect for taking some tiny Ls with such grace and good humor and allowing yourself to be the butt of a few jokes

I feel like I need a review of pacsgiving now how much did it set us back?

I love the headcannon that Link doesn’t speak in the games because he’d talk like he does in the show

I’ll die on this hill. I think Halloween is Grinch night just wasn’t for Murph. It was 100% for me and I’m so glad you guys introduced me to it. I don’t think it was as objectively bad as some of the others, it just had a different style and pacing.

HOLY SHIT???? Caldwell went on Pacmans podcast?@!?!?!@?!?!

I love this! Y’all’s content is always so clever, I have obviously listened to every one of these Mixed Bags multiple times because they’re hysterical, this is such a fun conclusion/twist. Fan!

I thought this was gonna be basketball related, so happy I was wrong lol

I have to say, the NADDPOD discord watched Halloween is Grinch Night prior to the C3 finale & I’m with you Murph, it was bananas.

Frank Welker: if you heard an animal in a cartoon since the mid 70s, it was probably him!

I watched the first 45 seconds of The Ringer and you all were not kidding. It's like he's a crypto bro

The Pac-Wife, coming this fall on CBS

I have been relistening through the catalog and I am so perfectly prepped for this episode having listened to all these View Crew shows being recently

Caldwell was pummeling Murph with Problematic Link punches

Watch "Child of a Stargazer" and "Dungeon Master for a Day" and tell me D&DC is bad.

So does this mean they will take characters from each to put in the next Twoyal Tumble?

This feels like final test for a class I only ever goofed around in

Can you imagine if they would have asked a guest to join for this episode?

"Addled with gazes of a gendered sort" was an insane bar

Epic bracket! They’re all winners! Losers!?

The Mixed bags have been cooking lately

Oh shit you fucking did it lmaooo

I see The Legend of Zelda “The Ringer” taking it.

If the DnD cartoon wins, I riot. That show was great.

Nothing fills me with more joy that a surprise NADDPOD episode

The 2 Crew had no idea how much I needed a surprise ep from them today 😍

What a NADDPOD career retrospective - here's to many more years 🎉

After hearing the 3 votes rule, I can't wait to hear Murph getting absolutely gaslighted

This looks pretty well seeded. Good job with thst.

Here at the 3:45 timestamp, please tell me they get to "Shitsteen" at some point

I think what makes this the best thing ever is the amount of episodes and NADDPOD lore it takes to have this make any amount of sense😂😂

Yayy!! I just filled out my bracket and have Pacman winning. Time to listen and see The Results…

BONUS PODCAST EPISODE DROPPED AS I WAS CLEANING HELL YEAH

Yippeee:) :) :)

Snails is going to carry Dungeons and Dragons straight to the end

As a recent Mixed-Bagger, this is really showing me that I need to go back and listen to all of these episodes.

Let's go Snails, team carry!

Hell yes, I'm so ready for this!

May the gaslighting of Murph commence!

Viva rock vegas is my Cinderella story pick

viva rock vegas vs the og dnd movie is a crazy round 1 match up. 2 heavyweights going at it early

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YES!!! LETS GOO

I’ve been waiting for this since it’s inception 🙌🏼🙌🏼
